Heading southbound on a Greyhound Best friend left me broke as I can be
There's man down in Macon He's got ideas of making it with me But its been too long now Since I've been gone Finally coming home Smiling faces is all I can see He is going to bathe me in those southern charms Hold me in his loving arms And right now there is no place I would rather be
Georgia dreamin' Lately Georgia dreamin' is all I do Georgia dreamin' of that old oak tree Where I first made love to you But I had to see the country I had to find out on my own Oh yes I did Now the only dreams worth dreaming Are always at home
Up on the highway I can see that sun-baked Georgia clay Heaven, no, it won't be long now Before he'll be back in my life to stay Here to stay
Well, I said goodbye once too often I think I might've lost him I never made the same mistake again All I wanna do is hold him Touch his hand and console him Feel his kiss so Ii won't have to dream again
Georgia dreamin' Lately Georgia dreamin' is all I do Georgia dreamin' of that old oak tree Where I first made love to you But I had to see the country I had to find out on my own Oh and I did Now the only dreams worth dreaming Are always at home
